Books aren't the issue, pokee. You shouldn't have any issue at all loading your Kindle ebooks onto your new ereader. I can't guarantee this, but I know that Canadians purchase ebooks through the U.S. store, so I can't imagine it being a problem. It's all the other stuff - apps, movies, cloud services - that aren't readily available. Someone else will need to confirm this, though.

Ahhh...this makes sense - thanks for the update. I'd likely use it for books, but it would be nice to have the option of using the other services/apps though...
